PRAISE FOR AFTERSHOCKS BY NADIA OWUSU A Most-Anticipated Selection by *&nbsp;The New York Times * Entertainment Weekly * O, The Oprah Magazine * New York&nbsp;magazine&nbsp;* Vogue * Time * Elle * Minneapolis Star Tribune * Electric Literature * Goodreads * The Millions *Refinery29 * HelloGiggles * &ldquo;In Aftershocks, Nadia Owusu tells the incredible story of her young life. How does a girl&mdash;abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies&mdash;find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you&rsquo;ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.&rdquo;&mdash;MALALA YOUSAFZAI&nbsp;  "In a literary landscape rich with diaspora memoirs, Owusu&rsquo;s painful yet radiant story rises to the forefront. The daughter of an Armenian-American mother who abandoned her and a heroic Ghanaian father who died when she was thirteen, Nadia drifted across continents in a trek that she renders here with&nbsp;poetic, indelible prose."&mdash;O MAGAZINE  "[Owusu] dispatches all of this heartache with blistering honesty, but does so with prose light enough that it never feels too much to bear."&mdash;ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY  "[A]&nbsp;gorgeous and unsettling memoir."&mdash;THE NEW YORK TIMES&nbsp;(EDITOR&#39;S CHOICE)  "Owusu&rsquo;s life has been a series of upheavals: She has lived across the world, thanks to her Ghanaian father&rsquo;s work with the United Nations, and was all but abandoned by her Armenian-American mother. Eventually, settling in New York as an adult gives the author a chance to make sense of her identity. Images of earthquakes and their aftermaths recur throughout the narrative: As Owusu notes, aftershocks are the &#39;earth&rsquo;s delayed reaction to stress.&#39;"&mdash;THE NEW YORK TIMES  "Owusu devotes a portion of this memoir to surveying the ruptured histories of the many countries she&#39;s connected to, but it&#39;s her striking personal story and charged language that makes Aftershocks compelling. [L]yrical...[A] well-wrought, often powerful memoir."&mdash;MAUREEN CORRIGAN,&nbsp;FRESH AIR  "Nadia Owusu&#39;s first full-length book, Aftershocks, is about all of these parts of what is her single, complex life. In her capable writing, stories become nearly tangible objects she holds to the light, turns over and over, eager to discover a never before glimpsed sparkle or a surprising divot in their familiar shapes."&mdash;NPR  "Full of narrative risk and untrammeled lyricism, [Aftershocks] fulfills the grieving author&rsquo;s directive to herself: to construct a story that reconstructs her world."&nbsp;&mdash;WASHINGTON POST  "Throughout the book, Owusu writes poignantly about belonging and assimilation...as she grapples with identity and her willingness to erase the most vibrant parts of herself in an attempt to belong. Owusu is unflinching in examining herself, which is commendable... In the end, Owusu ultimately answers what home is. Her definition is pure and restorative to read. &#39;I am made of the earth, flesh, ocean, blood and bone of all the places I tried to belong to and all the people I long for. I am pieces. I am whole. I am home.&#39;&rdquo;&mdash;THE NEW YORK TIMES  "Earthquakes are a metaphor for psychological struggles, family ruptures, and centuries of diasporic and colonial history in this ambitious memoir. The author, a Tanzanian-born American citizen, grew up with her father, a Ghanaian official for the United Nations, in Europe and Africa, witnessing poverty and violence. Her feelings of rootlessness were compounded by her mother&rsquo;s early abandonment and her father&rsquo;s untimely death. Against a backdrop of global events&mdash;wars, occupations, genocides&mdash;Owusu charts the rifts and convergences that have shaped her life. The book&rsquo;s roving structure, encompassing meditations on race, belonging, and fluid identity, reflects Owusu&rsquo;s fragmented efforts to understand herself."&mdash;THE NEW YORKER  "In her searing debut memoir, Owusu analyzes her shaky sense of belonging and identity as she reflects on her fractured family unit and upbringing."&mdash;TIME  "Nadia Owusu&rsquo;s debut memoir,&nbsp;Aftershocks,&nbsp;has those residual tremors that follow an earthquake as its central metaphor, and the author had plenty of life-shaking events around which to orient her narrative.&nbsp;There is something fairy tale&ndash;like about Owusu&rsquo;s story, an orphan-like existence of struggle and survival, but there is no fairy godmother who rescues this heroine&mdash;just a growing sense of self-awareness to orient her in a troubling world."&mdash;VOGUE  "This is a magnificent, complex assessment of selfhood and why it matters.&rdquo;&mdash;ELLE  "It takes a skillful hand to weave complex concepts so seamlessly into a narrative, and Owusu executes this masterfully. By relating the events of her upbringing, she is also telling the story of her father and the history of the countries that had become home to her. Whether it&rsquo;s coming to understand her sexuality or examining herself through the lens of race, Owusu takes the reader deeply through her thoughts and experiences."&mdash;LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS&nbsp;  "Aftershocks&nbsp;offers an incredible account of a life both privileged and fraught, and a rigorous accounting of living as heir and stranger to so many histories, voices and identities."&mdash;SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE  "Powerful and devastating &mdash; and a reminder that usually the only hero any of us have is ourselves &mdash; Nadia Owusu&#39;s memoir&nbsp;Aftershocks&nbsp;is a fascinating exploration of the difficulties inherent to growing up and going between different cultures, never knowing if you belong everywhere or nowhere."&mdash;REFINERY29  "Aftershocks is a stunning, visceral book about the ways that our stories&mdash;of loss, of love, of borders&mdash;leave permanent marks on our bodies and minds."&mdash;BOOKLIST  "Aftershocks&nbsp;is deeply intimate, heartbreakingly honest, and a book that will likely reverberate throughout our hearts and minds long after we&rsquo;ve finished reading."&mdash;LITHUB  "Aftershocks&nbsp;is an intimate work told in an imaginative style, with the events that shaped its author rippling throughout her nonlinear story. The structure mimics the all-consuming effect that a moment--a personal earthquake--can have on a life."&mdash;BOOKPAGE  "Aftershocks&nbsp;is the intimate, deeply moving memoir about where [Owusu] came from and how she found herself."&mdash;HELLOGIGGLES  "A poetic coming-of-age story, Nadia Owusu&#39;s Aftershocks&nbsp;thoroughly scrambles the usual genre classifications, combining memoir with cultural history and contemporary resonance."&mdash;GOODREADS  "Enthralling...readers will be moved by this well-wrought memoir."&mdash;PUBLISHERS WEEKLY  &ldquo;Engrossing&hellip;an impressive debut memoir. [Owusu is] a promising writer."&mdash;KIRKUS REVIEWS  "This extraordinary memoir is a seismic tale of unravelling her sense of self from a tangle of different languages and homelands. Owusu is a writer to watch."&mdash;BOOKSELLER (UK), EDITOR&#39;S CHOICE  "Whiting Award-winner Owusu recounts her past through the metaphor of earthquakes, with a memoir that broods on lost identity and statelessness."&mdash;ELLE&nbsp;(UK)  "&#39;I have lived in disaster, and disaster has lived in me,&#39; writes one of the literary world&#39;s most promising new voices, Nadia Owusu, in this astonishing memoir. After her mother left and her father died, Owusu became a woman of many homelands and identities: she grew up in many countries including Tanzania, Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda, Italy, and the UK. [Aftershocks] is Owusu&#39;s account of hauling herself out of the wreckage; an intimate look behind the division of today&#39;s world."&mdash;RED&nbsp;(UK)  &ldquo;An engaging and reflective new memoir focused on universal themes of home, abandonment, identity and autonomy.&rdquo;&mdash;MS. MAGAZINE  &ldquo;Nadia Owusu&#39;s&nbsp;Aftershocks&nbsp;bleeds honesty. It is a majestically&nbsp;rendered telling of all the history, hurt and love a body can contain. A wonderful work of art made of so many stories and histories it is bursting with both harshness and perseverance. An incredible debut.&rdquo;&mdash;NANA&nbsp;KWAME&nbsp;ADJEI-BRENYAH, author of&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestseller&nbsp;Friday Black  "Aftershocks&nbsp;is a triptych feat of style: the lucid language, the masterful handling of time, the brilliance of its seismic theme. It&rsquo;s also an astute exploration of the long legacy of colonialism. Owusu is a product of that political and cultural collision, and one of the great gifts of this compelling memoir is the moving narrative of her reconciling that identity. And if that weren&rsquo;t enough,&nbsp;Aftershocks&nbsp;is an indelible portrait of Owusu&rsquo;s resilience in the face of almost unfathomable familial trauma as well as her immortal love for her father."&mdash;MITCHELL S. JACKSON,&nbsp;author of&nbsp;Survival Math  &ldquo;Nadia Owusu has lived multiple lives and each has demanded much of her. She has met and surpassed those demands with her memoir,&nbsp;Aftershocks. Owusu is half-Armenian, half-Ghanaian; socially privileged and psychologically wounded. She spends her life moving between Europe, Africa and New York, reeling from her mother&rsquo;s desertion and her father&rsquo;s death. Her task and burden are threefold: to chronicle the historical wounds and legacies of each country; to chart her own descent into grief, mania and madness; to begin the work of emotional reconstruction. She does so with unerring honesty and in prose that is both rigorous and luminous.&rdquo;&mdash;MARGO JEFFERSON, author of&nbsp;Negroland: A Memoir, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award&nbsp;  &ldquo;Aftershocks&nbsp;is more than just a book&mdash;it is delicate, intricate choreography.&nbsp;This&nbsp;memoir&nbsp;is a testimony to how certain books and writers&nbsp;can tell you their story in a way that mirrors your own.&nbsp;Even if the facts of that story are different, the emotion is familiar. Owusu is that writer. She has created a book full of shared emotional memories and I wanted to sit in those memories with her for as long as I could.&nbsp;Nadia Owusu is powerful, beautiful, poetic, and&nbsp;Aftershocks&nbsp;is a testimony to her commitment to constructing towering, lovingly-rendered sentences.&nbsp;Quite simply,&nbsp;Aftershocks&nbsp;is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read.&rdquo;&mdash;BASSEY IKPI,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling&nbsp;author of&nbsp;I&#39;m Lying but I&#39;m telling the Truth  "A white-hot interrogation of the stories we carry in our bodies and the power they have to tear us apart. Owusu illuminates the blood and bones wrought by our borders and teaches us the necessity of owning our narratives when personal and collective histories have been shattered by violence.&rdquo;&mdash;JESSICA ANDREWS, author of&nbsp;Saltwater
